Product Description

Genetics: Analysis of Genes and Genomes, Sixth Edition by Hartl and Jones presents the modern world of genetics; treating classical, molecular, and population genetics as unified subdisciplines in a field that, even in our post-genomic era, still goes by the name genetics. This approach to teaching genetics is a logical progression in a time when the various subdisciplines of genetics are so closely interwoven. Written by two renowned authorities in the field, Genetics, Sixth Edition provides the most current, clear, comprehensive, and balanced introduction to genetics and genomics at the college level. It treats transmission genetics, molecular genetics, and evolutionary genetics as fully integrated subjects, and provides students with an unprecedented understanding of the basic processes of gene transmission, mutation, expression, and regulation. The text also explores the connections between modern and historical experimental methods used by geneticists, and offers valuable insight into the important historical and social context of genetics and genomics.

Just an average book
This is one of three Genetics textbooks that I purchased for a biochemistry University course, and although the book is very comprehensive, the layout of the book is somewhat not as good as the other ones that I have bought. As with other genetic textbooks there are questions at the end of each chapter to help with your understanding of the subject, and one much more positive point about the book is that this book has links to the web, when you enter the website for the book, it will take you to web sites pertaining to the chapter that you have been reading. If you like learning with the aid of diagrams, then this book may be helpful for you, since there are many diagrams and photos in this book.
